Held in the Stillness You Fear

The silence right now feels less like peace and more like a threat. You are terrified that if you finally stop moving, you will dissolve into nothing.

That the stillness will eat you. But listen — the light does not need your motion to survive.

It was there before you started running. It will be there if you collapse.

'Do not be afraid. I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever.' The terror says you must hold yourself together.

The truth says you are already held. You cannot dissolve into nothing because the One who conquered death is sitting in the dark with you.

He is not waiting for you to stand up. He is waiting for you to realize you are already safe.

The night is long, but it is not the end of you.
